Jeremiah 17:21
"Tell them, ‘Hear the LORD’s word, you kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:"
Key Reflection
This command from Jeremiah to kings, people of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem speaks directly to those who entered through the city’s gates, which were symbolic entry points into the political and religious life of the city. The original audience would have understood that this was a call for them to pay attention to God's message, emphasizing the importance of their role in the covenant community under divine oversight.
